King Elk Forest take a chill pill

You can post once  more and archive this or do so as-is. :)  Sorry this post is all over the place, lol, figured I would wrap it up and then we can continue over in Alpine Lake?

She softens visibly as his emotions rise, and instead of expressing her hurt she offers Uka her compassion.  No, no.  You did not offend me, don't worry.  She weighs the other's question, rolling it around in her mind.  She did not know him very well, and Mato had just returned to tend to Tindómë's creation.
